The rate of New Hampshire's COVID-19 test positivity as calculated by state health officials could differ from what's reported by other institutions tracking the pandemic, like Johns Hopkins University of Medicine. That's because, as noted by the COVID Tracking Project, "the underlying numbers used to calculate test positivity are counted differently in different places."
Why do these differences matter? "Because test positivity can change dramatically depending on which total test metric you use as the denominator," the COVID Tracking Project explains. "And different states, government agencies, and non-governmental institutions and projects prefer different testing metrics in their test positivity calculations."
We recommend exploring The COVID Tracking Project's Racial Data Dashboard for an in-depth look at the coronavirus disparities seen across all states, including New Hampshire.
State health officials are also tracking disparities on New Hampshire's COVID-19 Equity Dashboard.
You can look up case counts for K-12 schools, colleges and universities across New Hampshire on the state's COVID-19 Schools Dashboard.
However, as NHPR Education Reporter Sarah Gibson explains, the state's dashboard isn't always up-to-date — and the case counts listed there could differ from what's being reported by district officials or others at the local level.
